It might not take a 1 Hour special like Lebron James, but after raising mainstream attention through his play at the NBA Las Vegas summer league, Jeremy Lin finally has his chance to play for an NBA team, as he is on the verge of signing with the Golden State Warriors. Being from Palo Alto, Jeremy now can live his dream of playing for his favorite team, the Warriors, who play their home games at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA.

Even though I mentioned in the past that I would have liked to see Jeremy sign with the Lakers due to their winning history and current roster, I can understand why Jeremy chose to sign with the Warriors. Based on the the Warriors” most recent NBA seasons and their current roster, I can’t say that Jeremy is going to get experience on a title contending team that will go deep into playing in the NBA playoffs. However, the chance to earn more playing time, play in their up-tempo offense and develop his game could be Jeremy’s best opportunity as an undrafted rookie.

After being overlooked by not receiving any scholarship offers from a Division 1 school, and then going undrafted, but now about to get his chance to play in the NBA to showcase his skills with the best in the world, I guess the only thing left to say is, CONGRATULATIONS JEREMY LIN!

That’s awesome for Jeremy Lin. Too bad it’s for, you know, the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS, where there are exactly seven fans, even in the Bay Area. It’d be interesting to see if the Bay Area Asians are going to rally behind him, though.

LOL thanks on raining on the parade Ernie! Jeremy will have his fair share of supporters and haters, it comes with the territory. If there’s a team where minimal defense, high rate turnovers, and jacking up shots don’t really matter then Lin will get his chance to show what he can do with the Warriors.At worst, he’ll just be sent to the D-League or get waived to find a better chance to develop.
